the killing was done in the heart of western beirut. the symbolism two years ago was very clear that no area in lebanon is out of bounds, nobody is safe. then there was an agreement in lebanon which pretty much called things down from the last year and a half. this is a resumption of that process. the immediate issue is hezbollah versus the militant islamist isis and others, but there are other concentric circles, wider syrian conflicts, many different conflicts that converge in syria and the most troubling, the third one, how isis apparently -- targetseting outside of syria and iraq, whether they brought down the russian airplane and sinai is possibly one issue we have to look at now this bombing in lebanon. it is possible that isis is looking to carry out more such attacks against targets. they threatened to go after russia now and communicate -- and acumen a k a few days ago. rejuvenated al qaeda and isis, the two fastest-growing brand names and islamic -- islamist militancy and terror in the region. allr growing with groups over the

took place in southern beirut neighborhood, several neighborhoods in southern part of beirut have verypresence but it seems in this area where this attack took place most of those so far that have been killed have been identified as civilians. so it's still at this stage very developing situation that is coming out of beirut. >> hezbollah and isis on opposite sides of the conflict. so what would it mean if this was indeed an isis attack? what does that mean in terms of the region, lebanon, and the syrian civil war? >> reporter: well, no doubt about it that there's no love loss between isis and hezbollah. fact, not just that but hezbollah and many other predominantly sunni factions fighting inside syria. hezbollah has been a big supporter not just militarily but morally and politically supporting the assad regime, which has been in full blown civil war over the past several years against isis and against other sunni militant groups. they have been fighting each other on the battlefields with syria and exchanging, if you will, proxy attacks inside lebanon. this is not the first time this

the beirut suburbs have seen bombings like these in the past.his is the first time in over a year. people are afraid. there's anger, defines. when you talk to people that live in the neighbourhood. they say what if there's a new cycle of violence, if the cycle of violence continues. >> what sort of security, bearing in mind this area has been attacked before. what sort of security is in place there? >> well, beirut's southern suburbs is a large area. it's a very, very big district. you are talking about half a million living in beirut's southern suburbs. last year, when we saw the bombings, what the lebanese army did was set up checkpoints around the area, the roads leading into the southern suburbs, and hezbollah imposed stringent security measures, there's so many side roads. it's very easy for anyone to enter this area, and hard to stop someone who can - who is bent on killing himself and killing others. but definitely this is a blow, because, like i mentioned, this is the first time in over a year, and the lebanese government and hezbollah b

and one of the largest attacks in the city of beirut since the 1970's.of course, a very important issue for the world, how to deal with isis. of course, greece has to lead, but i think we have to be very sober and how we react to the provocations of isis and not, in fact, play into their hands. about theou talk significance when you say of not playing into their hands, what you mean? >> well, it is interesting. isis for a long time had no real challenge to its state and to its kind of military power will stop the united states has been bombing in frequently since august 2015 and getting all kinds of targets -- which i'm not sure had much strategic value. civilians have been killed. this is exactly what exacerbates frustration and anger in parts of the world. perhaps draws more recruits for isis. there has been no actual well worked out strategy and how to deal with isis. just to give you a little example, when isis seized palmyra, the united states and other powers, other regional powers, it refused to provide close air support to the syrian troops that

let's talk about what is going on in beirut.ed and injured in shiite neighborhood in south beirut. isis claims responsibility. has the u.s. actually confirmed that isis did this? >> i don't think there is any question and i have had consolations on this today. isis clearly carried this out. very cowardly act if you look at the attack on the bakery inside the market, that was primarily women and children and you look at the attack outside of the mosque, the shiite mask and you see this pronouncement they are attacking because they are apostates, the same reason for aseeties or christians or kurds. this is their m.o. and claimed credit and it is good that we now have in custody one of the attackers clearly u.s. forces and lebanese armed forces are going to have to work very closely together on this security question because what you see in lebanon today, wolf, is one quarter of that population are people fleeing from syria and obviously, what happened was isis embedded their suicide bombers with that population. >> the lebanese so

this is coming from your reporting reporting in beirut, right? scott: right. people think bombing is not unusual but there had been a relative calm for a long time. what we saw was a significant change for the worse. the scene was chaos. suicide bombers attack a cluster phobic neighborhood in -- closter phobic neighborhood in beirut. while americans may not feel a connection to country where dictators pictures cover the walls those who are living in lebanon say they should. eli is a political analyst and activist. what would it mean in the fight against terror? >> all organization that would find the safe haven and some places in lebanon and act with impunity. scott: there is a reason. the so-called arab spring that spread five years ago from tunisia to egypt, libya to yemen and beyond was meant to liberate the oppress and spark democracy. instead without constitution or structure they fail. terror groups took over. many worry that isis has the sights set on lebanon. even in a place like beirut where they have learned to live with war for a long time, what is

two explosions in the southern suburbs of beirut.is an area which is mainly populated by shias. this is a popular base for the lebanese movement hezbollah. it has been targeted in the past as we remember there have been numerous occasions of bombings in that area, but there has been a lull over the past few months. now it's still -- we're still getting -- details are still sketchy. some reports suggest that the target was a mosque. other reports suggest that it was a suicide bomber responsible for this explosion. but what we understand that these are almost almostsy -- simultaneous explosions. and the security forces have cordoned off the whole area, and not allowing anybody access. we are trying to get to the site of the explosion and provide you with more details as we get them. but right now there are reports of at least seven people killed. >> thank you, zana hoda in beirut. >>> the u.n., e.u., and the african leaders are calling for paste in burundi. since the president made a third bid for power. some have returned to their hom

ballbc's clinton some the has the latest from beirut. reporter: this was an appalling attack.was designed to inflict maximum amounts of casualties, civilian casualties in this shia neighborhood. suicide bombers exploded their devices in quick succession on a very congested shopping street. it's an area where there is a lot of support for the shia militia, hezbollah. lebanon, those two things now, it takes a breath, it pauses, and it hopes it does not get drawn further into the best of the syrian conflict. it also moves away from the geopolitics of it all. it reflects on the terrible loss of life of the men, women, and children who died tonight while they were out shopping. tomorrow will be a day of national mourning in lebanon. today the topic of islamic state and specifically what to do about the situation in syria, it was addressed before he headed out to the latest round of talks in vienna this weekend. while he cautioned against breakthroughs, he said time in turbulence can create new possibilities worth exploring. for more on what can be done, i spoke with frederick off,

. -- in beirut for the 44 people killed in the twin suicide blast. the islamic state organization says it was behind the bonds that targeted a busy shopping street. reporter: a day of national mourning. the residents of this suburb of beirut gathered to take in the destruction of the twin suicide bombs. over 40 people, mainly civilians, were killed by the jihadist attacks in the shiite area of the lebanese capital. the islamic state group claimed responsibility for the bombing. local people say they will not be intimidated. >> may god never forgive the people responsible for this explosion. whatever terrorists do, they make us feel stronger. we are not afraid. at least 200 people were killed by the explosion. the jihadist group had carried out attacks against hezbollah and shiite civilian areas last year. the iranian-backed under group has provided support to syrian president bashar al-assad. despite political fragmentation and instability in the lebanese government, these attacks were condemned by politicians of all stripes. this explosion is proof

joining me now from beirut is amman aldeen.nxious to hear those from the perspective in beirut who just 48 hours earlier witnessed a horrific attack in the southern area of beirut. >> there's been a tremendous outpouring of sympathy, no doubt about it, when you speak to ordinary lebanese. and there's a very close relationship between lebanon and france. a lot of lebanese have spent time in france. they really viewed -- as a double attack. one on lebanese citizens here and then also after what they saw take place in france. there has always been some interesting commentary in lebanese media about some of the outpouring of sympathy that's been focused at france. there's no doubt about what has happened in france has been tragic. but they are also saying some of that outpouring of support was not shown to the lebanese people following their deadly attack and they say it is the same whether it is happening in paris or happening in beirut. when you speak to ordinary lebanese. and they talked about some of the kind of characteristics

this bombing struck a shiite suburb in southern beirut. told by the lebanese red cross that the explosions hit only minutes apart in this area. it's called burj al barajneh. no claiming of responsibility by anyone yet. it is a stronghold of lebanon's hezbollah group who's fighting in syria alongside the government there of bashar al assad and the iranians. this area has been hit in the past. sunni militant groups have threatened to carry out more such attacks. as of right now, as of right now, we have no direct claim of responsibility for what happened. once again, 37 people dead. 181 wounded in beirut. i think we're trying to reconnect. with the journalist who's there. are you there, can you hear me? >> yes, i can hear you. >> tell us where you are and what you've seen. >> i am now in the southern suburb of beirut near the scene of the twin bombings that happened just over two hours ago. i'm actually near a school which is just 15 meters away from the bombing. from where the bombings i should say happened. there's a lot of chaos. a lot of

the attack was in the heartland, the southern suburbs of beirut. many say it's linked to hezbollah's decision to side with the syrian government, and if the aim was to turn the people against the armed group, it didn't take long for hezbollah and its supporters to show nothing has changed. >> personally, i was against hezbollah's decision to be involved in syria. but right now i'm convinced they were right to be involved in syria. they are taking proactive action. they're not waiting for isis to come. >> reporter: officials have condemned the attacks. it was a rare show of national unity in a deeply divided country. hezbollah has criticized for sending thousands of fighters to support syria's president. the bombings came at a time when the group stepped up the involvement in the war, mrauing a lead role in recent offenses. already hundreds of men from beirut's southern suburbs have been killed across the border in syria, and this is how many hezbollah's enemies are retaliating. thursday's bombings are described as the worst in years. the intention

this photograph on twitter appeared to be of the recent beirut attack, but it turns out it is actually a picture that has been circulated for at least nine years. this reminds us of an exhibit of images which proves roy you can't alalys believe your eyeses on a busy street corner in the bronx, between bodegas and walkouts, a small museum is trying to make a big stir. the bronx documentary center. michael has created an exhibit of photos going back over 150 ars th show our perspective of history then and now deserves a a ose second look. one of the most published photos from old-time. the soviet army photographer wanted to replicate joe rosenthal's famous photo from iwo jima. the whole thing is completelel fabricated. i think weut the show together because we wanted to get the debate going about photographs. the generation of photographers and photojournalists that i grew up with had very set rules. we watching those kind of dissolving from our eyes. i wanto have that conversation that this is something that has always gone on. it is fascinating that the first photo we were able to find

t is no accident that beirut was known as the paris of the -- they wanted to be like paris. this is why people in beirut were so hurt by the attacks in paris even more than the attacks of their own city because this was their dream city. the west is much more than this island of europe or the united states. it is an idea. melinda: and that was exactly what ulrike guerot was getting at when she talked about the tradeoff between our values and our security. but again, if in fact most jihadist attacks are taking victims in the middle east and africa, is our security truly so threatened that we must e prepared to trade off our civil liberties? ulrike: first i wouldn't say that we should trade out our liberties. i'm pretty concerned with what is actually going on with this exception state of france, which is basically eroding liberties. we have no more assembly freedom in france. you can arrest people. we have seen a clear erosion of security liberties that we have and we shouldn't let go. we have seen in germany for instance we didn't have a football played. which is basically g

we have multiple attacks in paris, beirut. the bombing of an airliner. russia is a cancer on the world and the president thinks he can solve it by giving it tylenol and a band aid. that's not how we tackle this area issue. these aren't terrorists dealing in the shadows. this organization is basically a state with complete control over lots of territory. has its own welfare system. it's time we take them seriously. >> all right. you are here in studio. i'm asking a tough question. what is the white house strategy? what's the obama strategy to defeat isis? >> he made it clear he'll be accelerating the baseline strategy that will remain the same. use air strikes to build coalition forces to support kurds and iraqi sunnis. to michelle's point -- >> hold on. >> what do you mean? >> we are sending in -- [ speaking at once ] >> we hear all the time the obama strategy. he said our strategy is working. i'm -- >> i just told you what it was. it's an air campaign. >> it's clearly not working. >> i'm not -- no. let me get this in. i'm not saying it's completely work

has released such carnage in beirut and baghdad but now it is a war that last reached into france. david chater al jazeera, paris. >> amateur video has been released of the moment when the incident was unleashed at the bataclan concert hall. bataclan concert hall was the worst of the six attacks. 80 people were killed when armed men burst in. the u.s. rock group eagles of death metal were playing at the venue. let's bring in navy barker. who is at the area. i wouldn't imagine this was easier digesting the horror. >> no it's not and as video footage of the attacks emerge of course it is a bitter reminder of what the city has been through. the city is essentially traumatized by what it experienced the last 48 hours. this is a second day of mourning in france, the tributes at the place de la proouk republic, mad it difficult to stop people from wanting to come here to exchange stories, to share their emotions and to desperately try to make sense of what happened here in paris. certain key spots within the city are still sealed off. the bataclan night club is still an active crime scen

at least 41 people have been killed in twin suicide tax -- attacks in beirut. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility. hezbollah is fighting alongside government forces in syria's civil war. good evening. tell us more about what you have seen. >> we have just returned from the immediate site of the pond blasts. the bomb security forces have moved people out. where people have been pulled away. that is obviously from some of the 40-plus people killed and 200 wounded. an extremely large explosion, made worse by the fact that aere were twin detonations, typical tactic to try to cause the most amount of harm possible, obviously not just killing and injuring people, but drawing in those who come to help the victims of the first explosion. then the second explosion was some 30 meters away as people rushed in. it took more lives. this is a contained area with high buildings and narrow streets. it concentrates the explosion. all these reasons contribution to this -- contribute to this having been such a terrible attack. we are hearing the islamic state group

wolf pointed out that we are rescuing syrians who face violence just like what happened in paris and beiruthis month. governor christie of new jersey, though, says the u.s. should not accept any more refugees, not even orphans, and when it comes to the opinion of governors nationwide, christie's in the majority, it seems, right now. so, ed, you're our foreign policy analyst. what do you think about this? >> well, this is an emotionally vexing issue, but given the nature of the paris attack, given what we know, not from partisan sources, but from the director of national intelligence and the fbi director about the inability to properly vet the refugees and what isis has declared as an intent and has been doing relative to those refugees to send in -- and i'm not wont to do this, but donald trump used the term "trojan horse." there's some validity to that position. it makes sense to take a pause and to study the issue more to try to go through all of your procedures because the administration keeps on saying, "our procedures are perfect," yet the fbi has a thousand probes open of isis sympath
